For decades, intellectuals warned that overpopulation would trigger famine, ecological collapse, and mass death. Instead, humanity may now face the opposite problem. In this episode of The Political Orphanage, Andrew Heaton talks with Dean Spears about his book After the Spike and the surprising reality of global depopulation. Why are birth rates collapsing across the developed world—and increasingly in the developing world too? What happens to economies, innovation, retirement systems, and civilization itself when populations begin to shrink? Along the way: Paul Ehrlich's failed predictions, the legacy of the Population Bomb era, why people stop having kids when they get richer, and whether humanity should actually be worried about a future with fewer humans.

Paul Ehrlich was the author of the 1968 book 'The Population Bomb' - a book that made him into a celebrity. His message was a horrifying one. “In the 1970s and 1980s” he announced in the opening lines, “hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” Thankfully, that prediction was not realised. But Ehrlich's influence lives on after his death, not least in the work of my guest today. Les Knight is the founder of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT). His goal is that humans should, as the movement's motto puts it, “live long and die out.” If he got his way, all humans would vanish within a century or so. Today I ask Les to explain his worldview.

The recent death of Paul Ehrlich reminds us that his crackpot overpopulation theories still are with us, even as they are being regularly discredited.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/depopulation-wont-save-us-or-planet

Die interessantesten Themen sind ja wohl diejenigen, bei denen man seine Meinung ändert oder zumindest ins Grübeln gerät. Religion beziehungsweise parareligiöse Phänomene interessieren mich seit langer Zeit. Früher hauptsächlich im Sinne der philosophisch oder ontologisch fundamentalen Fragen; also: existiert Gott, wie wäre Gott überhaupt zu denken, falls er existiert, Fragen von Schöpfung, Design, Evolution und dergleichen. Es gibt aber eine zweite Dimension, die ich ebenso mit Jan Juhani zum Teil angesprochen habe, die Frage der operationalen Rolle von Religion. Es scheint recht unumstritten zu sein, dass der Erfolg von Gesellschaften über historische Zeiträume deutlich von Religion abhängig war oder zumindest davon profitiert hat. Faktoren sind dabei: sozialer Zusammenhalt, Strukturbildung und Tradition, das heißt Weitergabe lebenswichtiger Ideen, gesellschaftliche Resilienz, aber auch, und sehr wichtig. Aber auch, und ganz wichtig, Transzendenz — im Tun, nicht nur im Glauben — also z.B. Aktivitäten, die weit über das eigene Leben reichen, von Kunst und Kultur bis zu Technik, Politik oder Bautätigkeit. Anders ausgedrückt: für viele, aber wohl nicht alle Menschen, ist ein religiöses Schema in das ihr Leben eingebettet ist, von großer praktischer Bedeutung (auch wenn sie sich rational dessen nicht bewusst sind). Ich habe, denke ich, in der Vergangenheit diesen zweiten Aspekt unterschätzt. Das ist, vermutlich einer der Gründe, warum wir gerade im Westen so einen defaitistischen Niedergang erleben. Es gibt eine viel zu großen Zahl an Menschen, die sich für progressiv und rational halten, alles ablehnen, was vermeintlich nach Tradition riecht. Sie glauben schlau genug zu sein, ad hoc die Probleme der Welt lösen zu können aber wenn diese Ideen dann aber auf die Realität treffen, fallen sie häufig in sich zusammen wie ein Kartenhaus. Daraus folgen zwei Fragen: warum ist es nicht gelungen, Ideen hart zu reflektieren und einem Wettbewerb auszusetzen, denn alle sind ja jetzt vermeintlich so rational und nicht mehr gläubig und zweitens, das ist damit verbunden: Wie kam es allerdings dazu, dass gerade diese Selbst-Überschätzer in der Lage waren, zur Eliten zu werden, und die Geschicke Europas (und teilweise der USA) so negativ zu beeinflussen? In dieser Folge diskutiere ich parareligiöse Phänomene, die wir über lange Zeit in säkularen Gesellschaften erleben. Wie sollen wir damit umgehen? Zitate aus dieser Episode: »Der Faszination des Neuen folgt in der Regel die Gewöhnung, die so weit geht, dass wir das Technische gar nicht mehr als das Technische wahrnehmen.« , Klaus Kornwachs ... »One's initial surprise at finding that intelligent people tend to be socialists diminishes when one realises that, of course, intelligent people will tend to overvalue intelligence, and to suppose that we must owe all the advantages and opportunities that our civilisation offers to deliberate design rather than to following traditional rules, and likewise to suppose that we can, by exercising our reason, eliminate any remaining undesired features by still more intelligent reflection, and still more appropriate design and 'rational coordination' of our undertakings.«, Friedrich Hayek ... »Die Beflissenheit, mit der sich dann die deutschen Gelehrten und Wissenschaftler fast ausnahmslos den neuen Machthabern zur Verfügung stellten, ist eins der erschütterndsten und beschämendsten Schauspiele in der ganzen Geschichte des Aufstiegs des Nationalsozialismus.«, Friedrich Hayek Referenzen Andere Episoden Episode 148: Künstliche Vernunft?

“You can't be confident about human decision-making. You can be confident on the potential of technology. Humans are quite capable of making both wrong and bad decisions.” — Keith Teare Is a jobless AI future really something to celebrate? That Was the Week publisher Keith Teare certainly thinks so. His editorial “Civilization: What Is Worth Doing” this week imagines a future in which nobody has to work unless they choose to, basic necessities are no longer scarce, leisure time is abundant, and governance fades to near-invisibility. I'm not so sure. As I told Keith, “That sounds incredibly boring. I don't want to live in that kind of society.” The conversation this week has been civilizational. A few days ago, the podcaster Patrick Wyman came on the show to argue that history is mostly unintentional and unexpected. But Keith says civilization is broadly linear and tends, if not toward justice, toward progress. Wyman says civilizations are plural and never inevitable. “Why History Keeps Happening” is how Wyman put it. The end and the beginning of history are, thus, delusional. We are, then, always in the middle of history. That's the wisdom missing from all the ridiculous hysteria about AI. It's just one chapter in our history. The promise that AI will create mass abundance is as somnolent as the fear it will wipe out our civilization. Pass the Soma. Five Takeaways •       Civilization: Singular or Plural? Wyman's argument: civilizations are plural, nonlinear, full of failure and unintended consequence. Keith's counter: civilization — singular — is the long arc of human progress collectively, broadly linear over two hundred years. Both are right at different scales. Andrew's instinct: we're in a nonlinear moment masquerading as progress. Keith's: we're at a fork in the road. That much they agree on. The more interesting question is who controls which direction the fork takes. •       Paul Ehrlich and the Limits of Forecasting: Norman Lewis's cautionary tale: Paul Ehrlich predicted in the 1970s that population growth would exhaust the Earth's resources within a generation. He was famously, totally wrong. Andrew's application: most people are probably wrong about AI right now — both the doomers and the optimists. The future is not the thing you think you're heading toward. The Wyman principle: history keeps happening in directions nobody predicted. •       The Pyramid of Change: Keith's model for how history gets made. Agents of change form a pyramid. At the top: a small number of people who have a much larger influence on what happens than everyone at the base. Most people receive change rather than make it. Those who step outside the norms and make things happen — those are the ones who make history. The question of our moment: who is at the top of the pyramid? And do they share your values? Or anyone else's? •       AI Panic in the Media: Reflecting, Not Forming: Nirit Weiss-Blatt's research into ten studies on AI coverage: the media is overwhelmingly negative. Keith's reading: media reflects opinion rather than forming it. Negativity around AI is a reasonable reaction to not knowing. When you don't know, you can believe anything, and most of the available influence is negative. If AI delivers real benefits, opinion will change, and media will follow. Andrew's reading: the cause is genuine uncertainty, not media panic. •       Keith's Utopia: “That Sounds Incredibly Boring”: Keith's vision: everyone eats, everyone is warm, nobody has to work unless they choose to, leisure time is abundant, paid labour replaced by a society that provides for all, governance shrinking toward irrelevance as satisfaction rises. Andrew's verdict: “that sounds incredibly boring. I don't want to live in that kind of society.” The Germans, Keith notes, will still be putting their towels out at dawn to claim the beach. Some scarcities will always remain. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter. He is a co-founder of TechCrunch and Andrew's regular TWTW co-host. References: •       That Was the Week: “Civilization: What Is Worth Doing” by Keith Teare. •       Norman Lewis, “The Future Is Not Scarce,” Nervous. •       Nirit Weiss-Blatt, “What 10 Studies Revealed About AI Panic in the Media.” •       Ezra Klein, “Why the AI Job Apocalypse Probably Won't Happen,” The New York Times. •       Episode 2897: Patrick Wyman on Lost Worlds — the companion episode on civilization's unintended consequences, directly referenced in this conversation. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Zeitgeist #17 s Dominikou Perlínovou a Tomášem Lindnerem o klesající porodnosti, přičinách, receptech na změnu i o dopadech demografické změny.Není to tak dávno, co svět vážně řešil dnes již z části vyvrácené obavy z "populační bomby", jak překotné rozrůstání lidstva označili američtí biologové Paul Ehrlich a Anne Ehrlich ve stejnojmenné populární knize z roku 1968. Dnes na Zemi žije přes 8,3 miliard lidí a jejich počet nadále poroste. Zároveň ovšem v příštích padesáti letech pravděpodobně dosáhne svého maxima. Přibývá totiž zemí, kde se rychle propadá porodnost navzdory snahám států tento trend zvrátit. Několik let v řadě klesá také v Česku, kde se loni podle demografů narodilo nejméně dětí za 240 let. Z jakých důvodů mají rodiče v mnoha zemích světa méně dětí než dřív? Co to znamená ve vybraných státech? Jaké recepty se nabízejí podle evropských demografů ve snaze zýšit počet dětí? A jaké velké změny čekat s ohledem na demografické rozdíly mezi zeměmi? Nejen o tom debatují v podcastu Zeitgeist Dominika Perlínová a Tomáš Lindner. Moderuje Štěpán Sedláček.

Continuing our tribute to the late Paul Ehrlich, we discuss the critiques and praise that followed news of his passing, and we share a VERY candid – and charming – "uncensored" 2020 Earth Day conversation. Paul points out a flaw on the cover of The Population Bomb. Can you guess what it is? Listen to find out. In our prelude and epilogue, we discuss his acerbic wit – was it helpful or did it hurt the cause of overshoot literacy? One fact is certain: Paul wasn't boring. What if thousands of scientists around the world spoke with Ehrlich's level of candor about the state of the world, and how tenuous our future really is as we continue deeper and deeper into overshoot? Plus, learn some interesting details about his relationship with Johnny Carson and NBC, failures of the university system, the relationship between population and pandemics, comparative advantage, and the vulnerability of our food system.

Paul Ehrlich recently died at the age of 93. His ideas about population control, the impact of "too many" people, and the methods he embraced to lower population impacted the behavior of people, policy, and nations for decades. We look at some examples and the most dangerous predictions that never came true and their fallout.

For generations, warnings of global overpopulation have shaped policies, culture, and even personal decisions. But how accurate were those predictions?In this episode, Pastor Ken Ortize examines the claims of overpopulation through the lens of history, science, and Scripture. Looking back at the bold forecasts of figures like Paul Ehrlich, we explore what was predicted… and what actually happened.As the conversation unfolds, a surprising truth emerges: the world's greatest challenge may not be overpopulation at all.This episode invites listeners to rethink what they've been told, question fear-based narratives, and consider a biblical perspective on humanity, growth, and the future.www.wtwcomingto.com 

From Chicago's sanctuary failures to the crumbling legacy of global icons, we're breaking down the top stories of the week.

On this week's Tech Nation, we remember Paul Ehrlich, Bing Professor of Population Studies and Professor of Biology at Stanford University. With his recent passing, we're revisiting our 2008 interview where he discusses his new book, “The Dominant Animal”, as well as his seminal 1968 book, “The Population Bomb”. Then, Dan Schmitt of Actuate Therapeutics tells us about a new drug showing positive early results in adult pancreatic cancer, and two pediatric cancers.

Have you heard of the bet between Paul Ehrlich and Julian Simon. You know, the bet about whether commodity prices would rise or fall in the 1980s? If you're like most of the population, you haven't. That's because this wasn't some mere wager about economics, this was a contest between the forces of good and the forces of evil. Spoiler: the forces of good won. And that's why we're not taught about this bet in the public indoctrination system. Let's fix that. Today on The Corbett Report, James fills in the missing pieces about the most important bet you've never heard of and what it tells us about the value of human life.

Let me start with a question that doesn't get asked nearly enough, especially in a country that claims to love results: how do you build a decades-long reputation as an “expert” when your predictions collapse faster than a campaign promise after Election Day?Because that's not normal. In most lines of work, if you're wrong at scale, repeatedly, and publicly, there's a consequence. If a pilot lands planes the way Paul Ehrlich landed predictions, you're not getting upgraded to a bigger aircraft. You're getting escorted out of the cockpit and possibly handed a pamphlet on alternative careers.But Ehrlich? He did the intellectual equivalent of calling for the financial collapse of gravity, watched it fail to materialize, and somehow got booked for the sequel.Now, to understand how that happens, you have to go back to 1968, when Ehrlich publishes The Population Bomb. And this wasn't some cautious, hedged academic paper filled with “ifs” and “maybes.” This was a man planting a flag in the ground and saying, “We are heading straight into mass starvation, and it's going to happen soon.”Not in a century. Not in some distant, abstract future. He told the world that hundreds of millions of people were going to starve in the 1970s. That's not analysis. That's a deadline.And the country ate it up. Not literally, because according to Ehrlich we were about to run out of food, but culturally, the appetite for this kind of message was enormous.Because here's something worth sitting with for a second: people don't just respond to fear, they organize around it. Fear simplifies the world. It takes complicated systems and turns them into a single, digestible storyline. Too many people. Not enough resources. End of discussion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Was the global fear of overpopulation based on truth—or a powerful narrative that shaped an entire generation? In this video, we take a closer look at Dr. Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb, and the impact his predictions had on culture, policy, and the way people think about having children. From major media appearances to widespread academic influence, Ehrlich's warnings about mass starvation and population collapse captured global attention—but how accurate were those claims? We explore: The rise of the overpopulation crisis narrative How The Population Bomb spread through media and academia The role of Hollywood, universities, and public figures What Ehrlich predicted—and what actually happened The long-term cultural impact on family, fertility, and society This isn't just history—it's about understanding how ideas spread, take hold, and shape real-world decisions.

In this episode, Ross dives into the latest developments in the Iran-US conflict, discussing President Trump's surprise announcement on Truth Social. He shares the details of the post, which claims that the US and Iran have had "very good and productive conversations" regarding a resolution to their hostilities. Ross also touches on the market's reaction to the news, with oil prices dropping and the S&P futures rising. Additionally, he discusses the potential implications of Trump's decision to send ICE agents to airports to supplement TSA personnel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pastor Endean teaches that a biblical worldview is essential, since all thoughts and actions flow from one's view of reality. He contrasts a God-centered, scriptural worldview with humanistic and pantheistic ideas that reject divine truth and lead to moral confusion, illustrating this with the harmful outcomes of Paul Ehrlich's population theories. He emphasizes that truth is absolute and grounded in God's revelation, urging believers to reject relativism, renew their minds through Scripture, and guard against worldly thinking while living with Christ-centered wisdom and readiness to defend their faith.

Coming at you from Baton Rouge, Jonah Goldberg is ornery and looking to settle some scores. After covering his bases on Iran, the ethics of criticizing the war, and the metrics of success, he moves on to lazy media criticism, ethnic humor, goyslop, and James Fishback.

Paul Ehrlich's bestselling book The Population Bomb opens with an apocalyptic paragraph. “The battle to feed all of humanity is over,” it states. “In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate.”Professor Ehrlich, who died last week, made a simple argument. The global population was outrunning our capacity to produce enough food to feed everyone. Famine, disease and nuclear Armageddon would follow if the population was not controlled.The book made him a celebrity, and he regularly spoke in public, warning of the imminent threat to humanity. Sometimes his warnings were quite vague in terms of the timescale, but other times not - he was reported as saying in 1968 that if current trends continued, by the year 2000, the UK would be a “small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people". "If I were a gambler," he was quoted as saying, "I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000".But the UK did not collapse, the global death rate did not increase, and we have more food per person now than when he wrote the book.

On this Friday edition of The David Knight Show, David examines the political, moral, and economic fallout of Trump's war with Iran, arguing that the conflict has shattered the core promises of Trumpism and exposed deep fractures within MAGA itself. He looks at growing public backlash, collapsing morale, the risk of impeachment and war-crimes accountability, and why even America's allies may want no part in joining Trump's widening conflict.David also breaks down the strange “proof of life” spectacle surrounding Benjamin Netanyahu, including AI-generated videos and a highly suspicious press conference, while asking who is really driving Israeli policy and where this war is ultimately headed. He connects the conflict to oil, pipelines, real estate ambitions, and the looming threat of global economic depression as energy infrastructure burns and the Strait of Hormuz remains in crisis.David covers the rise of the “bully president,” the militarization of federal power, the cult of demagoguery around Trump, and the dangerous talk of boots on the ground in Iran. He also reflects on the death of population alarmist Paul Ehrlich, exposing the legacy of failed doomsday predictions, environmental fearmongering, and elite contempt for humanity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

It's Thursday, March 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chine Communists continue to harass the church China's National People's Congress passed the innocuously named “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress” last week.  The new law requires the enforcement of a strong sense of Chinese identity across society. This would continue China's suppression of religious and ethnic minorities. It would also affect social organizations and churches.  International Christian Concern noted, “Christian home churches are an attempt to escape government scrutiny, but even they are often raided and their members arrested on charges of working against the interests of the state.” China is ranked 17th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most oppressive countries to be a Christian.  Trump postpones trip to meet with Chinese President China will have to reschedule a meeting with the United States as the war in Iran continues. U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he will postpone his trip to Beijing. The trip was scheduled for the end of the month. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping plan to discuss trade tariffs. The trade war between the two countries has been on pause since last October.  Commenting on the postponement, President Trump said, “Because of the [Iran] war, I want to be here. I have to be here.” Israel killed Iran's top security official on Monday Israel killed Iran's top security official, Ali Larijani, in a strike on Monday. Larijani was likely running the country since U.S. and Israeli strikes killed Iran's supreme leader last month. The recent war has lasted nearly three weeks so far. President Trump told reporters yesterday that America's involvement in the war may be ending soon.  Listen. TRUMP: “We're not ready to leave yet, but we'll be leaving in the near future. We'll be leaving in pretty much the very near future. But, right now, they've been decimated from every standpoint. We've had great support from countries in the Middle East. Great support. But we've had essentially no support from NATO.” Paul Ehrlich, father of population control, died Paul Ehrlich, known as the father of population control, died last Friday at the age of 93. The biology professor and population scientist wrote the 1968 book, The Population Bomb. Ehrlich falsely claimed population growth would cause widespread starvation. He promoted the murder of unborn babies and mass sterilization to stem the alleged tide of overpopulation.  His work inspired governments and organizations to push contraception, abortion, and sterilization on the world.  Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” Scotland Parliament votes against legalized assisted suicide Scotland's Parliament voted Tuesday against a bill to legalize assisted suicide. The vote ends two years of national debate on the issue. Alisdair Hungerford-Morgan, Chief Executive of Right To Life UK, said, “This is a great victory for the most vulnerable in our society. They deserve protection and care, not a pathway to suicide. If this legislation had passed, countless vulnerable people would have been pressured or coerced into ending their lives.”  Moody Bible victorious in religious liberty case In the United States, a Christian college won its religious freedom case against the Chicago Board of Education. Previously, the city's public schools blocked The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago from participating in its student-teaching program. The college could only participate if it compromised its Christian hiring practices. The public schools backed down after the lawsuit.  Jeremiah Galus with Alliance Defending Freedom commented, “We're hopeful other public officials will take note that they can't inject themselves illegally and unconstitutionally into a religious non-profit's hiring practices.” YouVersion: No AI chatbots to answer theological questions And finally, a leading digital Bible platform is not implementing artificial intelligence chatbots for answering theological questions. The YouVersion Bible platform has over one billion downloads around the world.  YouVersion CEO Bobby Gruenewald told Christian Daily International that AI models are inaccurate. He said, “The best model with the best performance, with the most popular versions of the Bible that are most indexed, misquotes Scripture at least 15% of the time. Some of them as much as 60% of the time.” Unlike chatbots, God's Word is always accurate. Psalm 12:6 says, “The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of Earth, purified seven times.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 19th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Neo-Malthusian Paul Ehrlich recently passed away, but not before his false doomsday claims made his a very wealthy man. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/remembering-paul-ehrlich-even-if-we-would-rather-not

Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first?  Warren James Talarico, a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, is using religious language to appeal to moderate voters. Conservative and Christian commentators have rightly called out Talarico for trying to make the Bible say what it clearly doesn't say. I especially commend to you this article by my friends and former colleagues John Stonestreet and Tim Padgett. Christina We'll have a link to that article in today's show notes. Warren That's great. I hope a lot of our listeners will read that piece. The bad news, though, is that it is likely that Talarico will likely fool a lot of people whose faith has been poorly formed, or non-Christians who nonetheless want to appear faith friendly. It doesn't help that the GOP has chosen prosperity gospel spokespeople such as Paula White to carry their banner. I think critiques of Talarico's heresies would have more credibility if those critics had also been on record calling out prosperity gospel heresies. (Just for the record, Stonestreet has. Christina Again, we'll link to an article he wrote, a critique of White and the prosperity gospel, in today's show notes, here.) Warren Again, I'm glad, because I think both articles taken together are a good reminder that heresies pull us away from the gospel from all directions, not just from one or two. Christina Warren, the next item was of particular interest to us, since we work for one of the publishers the article talks about. Warren Axios published an article this saying “Smaller web publishers, with 1,000–10,000 daily page views, are experiencing the most precipitous traffic declines in the AI era, according to new Chartbeat data.” Artificial intelligence has meant that more people are getting answers to questions directly from AI and not by clicking on the results of Google searches. Christina My own experience confirms that. I'm using AI more and more. Warren Me, too. When I “google” something, I often don't click on the links anymore, but just read the two or three sentence AI generated answer. Christina But that's hurt the traffic of small publishers. Warren It has. Axios continues: Over the past two years, referral traffic from traditional search engines has declined by 60% for small publishers, compared with 47% for medium-sized publishers and 22% for large publishers, per Chartbeat. Medium-sized publishers are outlets with 10,000–100,000 daily page views, on average. Large publishers are those with more than 100,000 daily page views on average.” Christina For the record, MinistryWatch fits into the “medium” category, and we have seen our page views go up steadily over the past two years. Warren Last year, we had about 4-million-page views on our site. This year, we are on track for about 4.5 million. Christina We write a lot about the state of evangelicalism here at MinistryWatch, and there's now a new book out that critiques evangelicalism as a movement consumed by conspiracy theories. Warren   You're right. We do write a lot about the overall state of evangelicalism. I have my own issues with evangelicalism. I even wrote a book about it! (A Lover's Quarrel With The Evangelical Church.) One of the reasons I wrote that book was my concern that most critiques of evangelicalism were from those who had no real interest in the church's health and restoration. They were merely ham-fisted attempts to take down the church. Jared Stacy's new book Reality In Ruins,unfortunately, fits into that category. That's why I was delighted to read Bonnie Kristian's lengthy and thoughtful review of the book at Christianity Today. She does a fantastic job dismantling the exaggerated arguments of the book while, at the same time, acknowledging that what Jared Stacy describes is indeed true of some of the darker corners of the evangelical movement. While We're At It. Check out Bonnie Kristian's Substack. It's one of the few “blogs” (Is Substack a blog? Are blogs still a thing?) that I read from beginning to end. Christina We also note a passing this week. Warren You may have heard that Paul Ehrlich died last week. He was 93.  Ehrlich made news in the 1960s called The Population Bomb, which predicted widespread starvation and war as a result of overpopulation. Liberals used the book to promote abortion, contraception, and homosexuality as an “evolutionary adaptation” to procreative unions. Christina Ehrlich turned out to be spectacularly wrong about this and many other matters. Warren The real reason for population growth in the 20th century was the worldwide increase in living standards and lifespan. As population expert Steven Moshertold me, “The reason the population grew was not because we were breeding like rabbits, but because we were no longer dying like flies.” But we’ve likely reached the end of longevity increases, so if birthrates stay the same, look for population declines in most countries in the world in the decades ahead. That's already happening in much of Europe. Christina You also note this week that shopping malls are making a comeback. Warren Shopping malls have been distressed for the past decade or more, with many of them closing down or being repurposed. But my friends at Axis, a Christian ministry that helps parents keep an eye on youth culture and how it's affecting kids, noted this week that “Gen Z is driving a resurgence in mall shopping, with many malls redesigning public spaces to be more “photogenic” and social-media friendly, as well as popular online stores like Edikted opening brick-and-mortar locations.” Christina Is this an anomaly or a new direction? Warren It may be too early to tell. But it could be the 2.0 version of the social media era, an era that provides an antidote to social media isolation with a dose of 80s and 90s mall culture. Christina Any final notes before we go? Warren   I have some travel coming up in the next couple of months, and I would love to see you. I will be in Los Angeles in April and Nashville in May, where I'll be speaking to the annual meeting of the Evangelical Press Association. And I'll be speaking at Summit Ministries in Manitou Springs, Colorado, in June. I will be doing reader lunches in all three cities. Let me know if you would like to join us. My email is wsmith@ministrywatch.com. Christina The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm Christina Darnell, along with Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

Please keep them coming.We also get a beautiful St.Patrick's day toast from one of our favorite Israeli heroes. Watch the show to find out which one. And speaking of Israel - it always amazes us that Ireland is so hostile to this country that they have so much in common with. They are both countries where the indigenous population was colonized and persecuted. They both lost their language. Israel has successfully achieved independence and built a nation and revived a language - something that the Irish people have failed to do. The Irish still speak English - the Israelis speak Hebrew.Is jealousy part of the Irish problem with Israel?Shapiro Pushes A LieAnd speaking of Israel. Watch the podcast where we exclusively reveal how Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro lies to push the fake news that the home of Mayor Momdani in New York was attacked because he was a Muslim. Shapiro knew this was a lie but pushed it anyway.And hatred of Israel is so strong that the Northern Ireland Minister of Finance couldn't keep her mouth shut and destroyed a 300 well-paid job opportunity for the country.Watch this week where you can learn how to fail in business without even trying.Headlines From Another PlanetAnd on a lighter note Ann brings you not one but two crazy headlines this week!

Yes, that's a real headline!.And speaking of journalism... our friend Christopher Dodge, is making a documentary about how the crimes of the Biden family were covered up and the brave IRS whistleblowers who exposed them. And the price they paid for their bravery. The documentary is Shielded By Power . It's the perfect companion piece to our movie My Son Hunter. But Christopher needs your help.

"Jack Riccardi talks about the best or worst campaign ad yet, using AI voice simulation, canceling the Chavez march, Trump's war with intel, Paul Ehrlich and COVID accountability."

This morning, we're taking on elite incompetence from every angle. First, the Jones Act fight takes center stage as Trump weighs a waiver while the Iran war pushes gas prices higher and exposes just how weak America's protected shipping system really is. And later, the failed fear politics of Paul Ehrlich get the reckoning they deserve. The Population Bomb mindset taught the West to fear children, fear growth, and fear the future itself. The predictions failed. The panic did not. Then it's the TSA mess, where unpaid security workers, airport disruptions, and Kristi Noem's DHS spin machine are colliding in real time. Is this just another congressional food fight, or proof that Noem can do TV better than she can run a department? In the second half, Cuba is back in the dark. Mailyn Salabarria joins the show to break down the blackouts, the regime's talks with Washington, and why the socialist fantasy keeps crashing into reality. ⛽ TRUMP'S JONES ACT GAMBLE: Why the Iran oil shock is exposing one of America's dumbest and most overrated shipping laws.

We lost scientific and environmental icon Paul Ehlich on March 13. We're honoring his memory by revisiting Dave Gardner's first interview with Paul, outside his Stanford University office in 2007 for the documentary, GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth. Ehrlich was most famous for authoring, with wife Anne Ehrlich, the bestselling 1968 book, The Population Bomb. While the book inspired widespread concern about human overpopulation, those who profited from growth worked to discredit the book, the scientist, and the notion that human numbers above 2 or 3 billion would seriously harm our life-supporting ecosystems. Undaunted by the critics, Ehrlich spent the next 58 years speaking the truth that we were testing very real limits to growth. We'll devote several episodes of the GrowthBusters podcast to this smart and fearless scientist. This episode reprises episode 110 of the Conversation Earth syndicated radio series.
